Can Psychedelic Drugs Enhance Creativity?

[slimvictor]

Scientific studies suggest that LSD and other psychedelic drugs can significantly enhance creativity and inspire novel thought.


As readers of my column are aware, scientific research into the benefits of psychedelic drugs is currently experiencing a global renaissance, and new medical treatments are being developed that offer hope for many people with conditions that physicians thought were untreatable.

Additionally, the illegal and unauthorized use of psychedelic drugs by creative individuals is helping to foster an artistic renaissance, which is radically influencing virtually every aspect of human culture, and this influence appears to be growing more and more all the time.

It’s almost as though planet earth has been invaded by an alien intelligence, and it’s presence is everywhere we look.

Although many popular artists, musicians, scientists, and media icons have been sharing their psychedelically-inspired creations with us for years, this influence appears to be dramatically increasing.

Short answer? Yes. Ever painted, picked up a guitar, or anything else creative on LSD? It's fucking amazing.

^Agreed.
Do all the experiments you want to - and I hope that they research this in minute detail - but my personal experience says "absolutely!"

From my understanding, the psychedelic action will inhibit the filters on your brain that process sensory input, exposing you to a wider view of reality. in laymans terms, it has the capability of removing [the ego] and permitting conscious thought that is not contingent on every day normal perceptions.. thats what ive found any way.
